Staff Software Engineer, Product
Salary: $200K – $240K + Equity
Company Description: Cleric - Seed-stage AI startup building an autonomous, self-learning AI SRE backed by Zetta Venture Partners and Vertex Ventures US.
Job Description:You will define the future of incident response by building the first autonomous AI SRE. This Staff-level role involves designing complex data flows, surfacing agent reasoning to engineers, and conducting product experiments. You'll work directly with the founders to solve the next hard challenge in AI: high-trust, autonomous production investigation.
Location: San Francisco, USA
Why this role is remarkable:
Shape a new product category by defining how AI handles production incidents with 78%+ accuracy at high-scale companies like BlaBlaCar.
Join a high-caliber team of repeat builders from Google, Apple, and Tecton, backed by $9.8M in seed funding from top-tier VCs.
Experience true technical autonomy and direct impact as one of the first 10 employees in an AI-native, in-person SF culture.
What you will do:
Architect and build the core systems that power autonomous investigations, including integration points and reasoning interfaces.
Drive product direction by embedding in engineering war rooms to observe real-world debugging and translate findings into features.
Set high engineering standards across the stack (Python, backend, and frontend) to ensure high velocity and system reliability.
The ideal candidate:
Has extensive experience shipping products at scale and has personally felt the ""2AM pager stress"" of triaging production incidents.
Possesses strong product instincts, with a proven track record of deciding what to build rather than just executing on specs.
Is technically proficient across the full stack and actively uses AI coding agents like Cursor or Copilot in their daily workflow.
